No.
None of the fossil fuels are.
There's actually no such thing as "renewable" energy by basic physics, but those forms so-called are effectively inexhaustible in human terms, and that would be the better adjective.
Wood and other plants approach it, if farmed and cropped properly, and some work has been carried out on crop-woods to feed gasifiers to fuel internal-combustion engine driven alternators. The main by-product is charcoal, plus some wood-tar, both of potential value.
When you see the R- word bandied about so glibly you realise just how ignorant so many people really are of basic science, despite using all sort of modern inventions powered by electricity!

RenePetrol is a non-renewable energy source because it is derived from finite fossil fuel reserves, primarily crude oil. These reserves take millions of years to form and are being consumed at a rate much faster than they can be replenished naturally. Once these reserves are depleted, petrol cannot be easily replaced in a short timeframe.
Petrol is actually, to some degree, renewable. It was formed naturally by the decomposition of organic matter over millions of years; millions of years from now, the earth's supply of fossil fuel will renew itself. However, because the rate of human consumption of petrol and other fossil fuels far exceeds its natural rate of renewal, it is, for our intents and purposes, nonrenewable.

Is electrival energy a Renewable Energy?
electrical energy can be derived from a renewable or non renewable source. It itself cannot be classed as renewable as such because capacitors to store the energy are not 100% efficient in converting back to electrical energy
Is kerosene renewable?
Yes However some consider uranium as a fossil fuel for being extracted through mining and in the mean time they consider nuclear energy (using uranium as its fuel) is rebewable energy source for the possibility of producing more fuel (through breeders) than the consumed fissile fuel.
Is a hair dryer a non-renewable source?
yes a hair dryer is a non renewable energy because a hair dryer uses a lot of energy for example electrical energy - goes into a hair dryer - what comes out - sound , heat,kinetic energy
Does diesel fuel come from renewable energy source?
No, diesel fuel is derived from crude oil, which is a non-renewable fossil fuel. It is extracted from the ground through drilling and refining processes.
Which of these is a renewable energy source coal wind natural gas or oil?
Wind is a renewable energy source because it relies on the power of wind to generate electricity. Coal, natural gas, and oil are all non-renewable sources of energy because they are finite resources that can be depleted over time and are not easily replenished.
